Female Robots

Matilda
The charmingly named Matilda may not be able to waltz like her Australian namesake, but does have hydraulic tusks. New for this year, she has had her tail-weapon transformed into an interchangeable weapons arsenal that can take either her deadly chainsaw or a state of the art flywheel weapon that weighs over 60 lbs. Truly a sting in her tail! And as she’s powered by a rechargeable battery unit and moves at over 3.6 m/s, dancing with her is not recommended.

Matilda is always a favourite with the audience. She is fashioned from fiberglass matting – a material that is more resistant to heavy blows than steel. She is driven by 12-volt 115 watt motors run at 24v and controlled by 220 amp speed controllers. Her tusks are operated by a powerful pneumatic carbon dioxide system. A 76cc motor drives her steel chainsaw tail when fitted.

Matilda’s greatest strength is the extreme toughness of her skin, which is capable of resisting just about any form of attack. Her outer structure is smoother and less complicated than the other house robots – and attacking blows tend to glance off, rather than penetrate.

However, she is vulnerable to being overturned and as viewers of the show will know, certain competitors take great delight in ‘lifting her skirts

Fembot
Featured in the film “Austin Powers:
International Man of Mystery” (1997)

Busty, leggy, and deadly, these lovely ladies were created by Dr. Evil. Their mission – to seduce and kill Austin Powers. After all, how better to kill the swingingest spy of the sixties than with a passle of super-sexy robot assassins? Fortunately, Austin’s raw sexual magnetism destroyed them before they could use their…ahem… win-chest-ers.

Small Wonder

There might be worse television shows in history, but certainly none more annoying than the putrid 80s sitcom, Small Wonder.
